Biographical and Historical Note: In 1810, Jacob Dritt purchased 110 acres of land from Charles Smith Sewell and laid out the village of Woodstock, which would later become Washington. Washington Boro was formally and legally formed in 1827 by consolidating the villages of Washington and Charleston. The Washington Boro Society for Susquehanna River Heritage was formed in 2001 with the mission to collect and exhibit relics from the past, restore historical structures, and enhance the existing public river access areas in their area.
